National Youth Dialogue on ICT for Development
The Young Volunteers for Sustainable Development (YVSD) in cooperation with Voice of the Youth Network are organizing a national
youth forum on the information society and the role of ICT for sustainable
development. The event aims to strengthen and broaden the engagement of
young people in the Philippines to the preparations around the United Nations
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and to develop a national
youth network and strategy on the information society. Scheduled on April
1-3, 2003 at the Asian Development Bank, more than 100 young leaders from
the ICT industry, government, civil society/NGOs and academia are expected
to attend thematic workshops and roundtable discussions on diverse WSIS agenda
that are significant to youth and deliver a declaration and action plan.
Resource speakers invited are from government, civil society, private sector
and international development agencies.
YVSD is a growing network of young people working towards sustainable development through volunteerism and local community action in the Philippines. YVSD serves as a unifying platform for young people to make a contribution towards post-World Summit on Sustainable Development follow-up work. Programs and activities are people- and partnership-based with development impact. Current
initiatives revolve around integrated water resources management, sustainable
forest use and responsible consumption. YVSD likewise serves as UNESCOs
National Focal Point for Youth in the Philippines for the 2003 International
Year of Freshwater
